Unión backs its academy and ties down Mateo Aimar until 2029 | OneFootball

Unión took another step in its commitment to youth development and secured the continuity of one of its young prospects. Mateo Aimar signed his first professional contract with El Tatengue, on a deal that runs through December 2029.

The defender, born on February 16, 2006, in Saguier, plays as a center back and can also operate as a left back. Before joining Unión, he completed part of his development at Juventud Unida de Villa San José and also had a spell at Atlético de Rafaela. Since the beginning of 2025, he has been part of the red-and-white club’s structure.

Aimar gradually earned a bigger role in the youth divisions and the reserve team, where he logged a significant number of minutes. His performances led to him beginning to be considered as part of Unión’s first-team setup.

With the signing of this contract, the Santa Fe institution aims to protect the development of a player trained within its system and project him for the coming years. The deal through 2029 also represents a sign of confidence in the defender.

In this way, Aimar joins the list of young players Unión hopes to establish in professional football, with the goal of ensuring that the youth divisions continue to be an important source of players for the first team.

The new contract thus marks an important moment in the defender’s career, as he now faces the challenge of continuing to grow and earning a place in the senior squad.
